Can You send Me Any Sample data

FE_support Author Team

Hi pajeromasterau

Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document. So we can create an example of filters for you. You can also attach the link to the page where you want the filter to be and specify exactly what you want it to filter on that page.

This way, we could create an example of such filters for you.

Best Regards,
Victor

FE_support Author Team

Hi pajeromasterau

We have checked the site, and we didn’t find any product attributes; they basically have no terms in them. So we simply added a category filter as a secondary one after the model filter, as a child filter of a tag filter. You can add any other attribute as a third one (or as many as you need) and make them child filters of the previous one to create such a chain.

Hi, i am using Divi, but when i try to show the filter on the shop page i have No one Filter Set is related to this page. You can configure it in the Filter Set -> “Where to filter?” field. I have tried all the options, but not showing.

Hey, we have purchased your license with paypal. You can check Web Visuality in your website.

Hi WebVisuality

Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

Also, attach the link to the exact page where you want to display the filters.

We have checked the site and how it is set up, and placed the filter set on this exact page.

Since you have WPML and most likely want to apply filters in different languages, please check this page: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/with-wpml-polylang/

Please prevent robots from following links to filter values. Robots crash the site by following these links.

FE_support Author Team

Hi ali34121

Currently, the development team, together with SEO experts, is actively working on improving how the plugin handles this, such as removing links from filter terms, limiting the maximum number of selectable filters at once, and similar solutions. This is currently under active discussion to find the best approach.

What you can do on your side is use firewall settings or .htaccess rules with wildcards to prevent crawlers from going further on filtered pages. They would only have access to the main pages, like site.com/shop/, while anything after /shop/ that represents filters would be blocked.

You can also try to turn off the permalinks in the plugin so the filters will use GET parameters. For that, you can use the following code:

define( 'FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED', false );

If you have any suggestions regarding what can be done on the plugin side to address this matter, please let us know.

Best Regards,
Victor

I want something like this, but do you have this plugin that does the same as the website I sent? https://www.machter.com.au/

FE_support Author Team

Hi pajeromasterau

Absolutely yes.

1) The first filter is a brand filter, which can be created in the Brands taxonomy or as an attribute, whichever you prefer.

2) The second filter is an attribute called Model with all the required terms.

3) The third filter is another attribute, like Modification or anything else you need. You can then create a child-parent filter structure if required in the filter set.

But first things first: you need all the brands in one taxonomy, and the rest in separate attributes. Do you already have this set up on your site?

I’m a new user of your plugin. It appears to be working fine however, and I know how weird this sounds, one of my most popular plugins isn’t loading. When you click on the product you get a nothing found error page. Deactivate the Filter Everything plugin and the product loads like normal. Reactivate Filter Everything and that product is once again not loading. I have hundreds of products. As far as I can tell just one product is impacted. Super weird. Don’t know why or how but it absolutely has something to do with the Filter Everything plugin.

FE_support Author Team

Hi jpsquared

No, this is not weird at all. When it comes to programming, anything can happen. Maybe some conflicting prefixes for filters with existing plugins reserved slugs for those plugin pages, and so on.

Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

Also, please provide the link to the exact page that shows a 404 error when our plugin is turned on, so we can test that specific page.

Hello, I have purchased the plugin but it is impossible to work with…

I have a cosmetics brand. The brand had multiple main product categories, for example: skin type, skin problem, glow-up method. Each of main product categories have multiple sub-categories for example skin type: normal, sensitive, dry, mixed …. I need to be able to create one filter set where I will include all of these but as soon I select product category once, it wont let me do it again.

Now I read some of documentation and it seem that this most simple thing cant be done??

Please advise, either please tell me how to use it or I would like a refund since this cant be used at all for my website.

Thank you very much in advance.

FE_support Author Team

Hi mesarcovaeduco

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

In general, within one filter set, you can create only one filter from the same entity. For example, if you create a filter from the taxonomy “Product category,” you cannot create any other filters from the same taxonomy in that same filter set.

However, you can create multiple filter sets and apply them on the same page, using the same number of filter widgets or shortcodes to display them all. In each filter set, you can modify the Product Category filter from the More Options section to use include/exclude settings to define the exact filter terms you want to display.

it seem that this most simple thing cant be done??

To be fair, this is not the “most simple thing.” This is exactly why WooCommerce has product attributes, so you don’t have to rely on a single product category taxonomy and try to divide it into unrelated groups to use on products instead of attributes.

In an ideal setup, these things should be separated: product categories should contain general categories such as laptops, microwaves, smartphones, TVs, while attributes (or another custom taxonomy) should contain specific properties for those products. For example, a skin type attribute with the terms normal, sensitive, dry, mixed, or a RAM attribute with the terms 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 12GB, and so on. This way, you can create a dedicated filter for each attribute, responsible only for RAM, skin types, color, and other specific properties.

Example of a category structure:
Skin-care and personal-care products (main)
— Facial Skincare Products
— Body Care Products
— Sun Protection
— Makeup

After we choose the required category, for example, “Body Care Products,” the next filters should be from any separate attribute related to those products. Example of such attributes and terms that they contain:

skin_type: normal, dry, oily, mixed, sensitive
skin_concern: acne, redness, dryness, wrinkles
fragrance: fragrance-free, light fragrance, strong fragrance
use_time: day, night, day & night

Hello,

I have been using the filter everything plugin on my website for a long time.

For the past few days, I have been experiencing general issues on my website. In response, I made several new adjustments. To identify the issues, I disabled all plugins and then reactivated them.

After this process, the filters are no longer visible on any of the pages with filtering capabilities.

I haven’t made any changes to any area of your plugin (settings, etc.).

Also, even though debug mode is active, the content is not visible.

These filters are working in the sidebar area.

Only the sorting feature is working actively. This is not a filtering feature anyway.

Attached is a screenshot of an example filter set.

I would appreciate your help when you are available.

The RankMath plugin is quite popular. That’s why I felt the need to tell you.

Yes, I tested all the plugins one by one. The RankMath plugin caused the problem.

I reinstalled the previous version of this plugin and the problem was fixed.

When I checked my website just now, I noticed that RankMath had released version 1.0.259.1

I updated this version on my website. All issues have been resolved.

However, I think it would be beneficial for you to discuss this situation with them.

Hello, we purchased this plugin recently because of its extensive functionalities.

CONTEXT : we have a site with ~ 6000 products (expected to rise to 15,000 too some times), 100 brands, around 30-40 categories and around 15-20 tags. We are using Wordpress.com Commerce Plan so we have some controls over what we can do on the site compared to normal Wordpress.com plan. The native WooCommerce filter and the Filter that came with our theme did not meet our requirements but this Filter Everything Pro version seems to be doing well.

We have been using it for last 1-2 weeks but noticed issues here and there.

Summary : 1. Filter not showing up in Search Result Page even though one is created and assigned for it. 2. Product Count inconsistent across different URLs that should be showing the same thing & Product Count Caching. 3. Filter scrolling not working when page is in split screen mode. 4. New items being loaded in infinite loading does not follow Filter Rules. 5. How to control the rise in number of page new page permutations that were generated and now indexable by google and crawlable by bots?

We currently have 5 Separate Field Sets created using Filter Everything Pro. - [ Tag Filter ] : Shows up in /tags/ pages with All types of Filters Present. Some Brands Excluded From Brand Filter. Only Products With Specific Tags Allowed - [ Brand Filter ] : Shows up in /brands/ Pages with All types of Filters Present Except “brands” type. Some Brands Excluded From Brand Filter. Only Products With Specific Tags Allowed. - [ Category Filter ] : Shows up in /collections/ Pages with All types of Filters Present Except “categories” type. Some Brands Excluded From Brand Filter. Only Products With Specific Tags Allowed. - [ Shop All Filters ] : Shows up in /shop/ Pages with All types of Filters Present. Some Brands Excluded From Brand Filter. Only Products With Specific Tags Allowed. - [ Search Filter ] : We want it to show up in Search Results ’/?s=’ but it is not showing up. We are unable to find out why. The products show up but not the filter.

ISSUE # 1 : We have created one filter set and assigned it to Search Page Result but it is not showing up. We are using Minimog as the Theme and Elementor that came with it to edit things.

ISSUE # 2 : Here is an example. We have 6 Products that have a Brand “Hermes” and is included in a category “black-friday-online” . I am attaching below a sample url and the product count in that specific page to show the discrepancy. - “https://example.com/collections/black-friday-online/” Shows 0 Hermes Products. Hermes Filter is Greyed Out. But if we search “Hermes” in the filter search, it shows 6 Products. - “https://example.com/collections/black-friday-online/brands-hermes/” Shows 2 Products. We had to manually enter ”/brands-hermes/” at the end of previous url because the filter item is greyed out. - “https://example.com/brands/hermes/product_categories-black-friday-online/” Shows 6 Products - “https://example.com/shop/brands-hermes/product_categories-black-friday-online/ “Shows 6 Products This is just one example, our cataloging team see similar discrepancy across different pages randomly and its very inconsistent.

We also noticed that the Filter seems to be Caching the Count of Product per Brand, so if we recently added 10 more products to the catalog with “hermes” as brand and “black-friday-online” as category, The filter does not update the count, it shows the old number. We have to go and clear the Server Cache for the number to update. And even after that, the category page with brand filter only shows 2 products. We are not sure if this is a Caching problem, we have not installed any specific plugin to control caching.

ISSUE # 3 The Filter Stops scrolling within brands lists if we reduce the Tab size to 1/2 width of the monitor. Filter works in Mobile mode and in Desktop mode but becomes unusable in middle, none of the scrolling with filter works. Is there a way to fix it?

ISSUE # 4 Also, we noticed that the AJAX filter seems to be misbehaving as it will filter products correctly based on the AJAX rules first but when we scroll the page down and load new items. all new items that are loaded in is not following those conditions, they are just normal products. We have a custom theme on the website, we had asked them for the Product Grid Identifier. They had given ”#minimog-main-post” as the AJAX product grid identifier. We used it and the filtering seemed to be working correctly till we noticed that the newly loading products do not consider the filter conditions. So, we turned it off until we could find out the issue. Without AJAX Filtering, the refreshing is slow. We want to fix this behavior of Non Selected Brands loading when we use Infinite Scroll Load More type of functions to load more products.

ISSUE # 5 We noticed the indexable page counts increased drastically now and Search Engines like Google also noticed a sharp spike in number of URLs that are traversable in the site. And we fear that this will have a negative effect because crawlers, scrapers, AIBots are spending a lot of time on the site visiting all URLs eating up resources and CPU cycle. How to control these? What should we add to robots.txt or similar settings to ensure only relevant taxonomies are indexed and crawlable. Is this controlled within the Plugin Settings?

Please guide on this. Thank you in advance.

Hi ashwiniprabhu14

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it.

After you send the credentials, we will start from the first request, which is the issue of filters not displaying on the search pages. To check this issue, please attach the link to the exact search page where you want the filters to be displayed so we can examine it.

Please write one request at a time. When we make sure that it is absolutely resolved, we can move to the next one, and so on. Do not send a list of multiple requests at once because it is not efficient to provide support for all of them simultaneously; it will only cause more confusion instead of actually providing the information needed for each request.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hello, thank you for your response.

I have submitted the credentials via the method in the document. Yes, we can start with ISSUE # 1 and keep other issues separate till this is resolved.. Please do let me know if I should proceed with other issues in this thread itself one by one after clearing each or whether I should start individual new support threads for each issue after one thread is completed. I can do accordingly.

FE_support Author Team

Hi ashwiniprabhu14

We have checked the search page. The issue is that you do not have the shortcode or the filters widget on that page. There is one widget area in the top section, but it is not very suitable for displaying the filters there. You need to add either a widget area in the required place with the filters widget, or use the shortcode [fe_widget] on the search page.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hello, I’m using your filter plugin with the Avada theme. On my custom page (“Акција”), the filter widget [fe_widget]does not load and the plugin reports: “No Products lists found on that page.”

The products are displayed using Avada Post Cards, not the default WooCommerce shop loop. It seems the plugin cannot detect the query that Post Cards generate.

Filter works fine on standard WooCommerce pages (Shop, Category).

On custom Avada Post Cards pages, the plugin cannot find the WP_Query.

I need guidance on whether there’s a hook or integration method to make the filter recognize Avada’s Post Cards query.

Your message has been sent.

FE_support Author Team

We have checked the site and turned off the object cache plugin, and the queries appeared in the filter set. Everything is now working as it should. The cache plugin was caching the queries on the pages and displaying only cached posts, so filtering was not affecting the cached query at all. This is why filtering was not working and why the queries were not appearing in the filter set settings.

You can turn the cache plugin back on and try to configure it so that it does not cache queries on the filter pages.

Victor

We have checked the site, and what we did was duplicate a filter set and place both of them on the same page. It seems that some plugin is using page preloading to add some modifications to the page. This is where the first filter set is displayed, and after the final page is generated, filters are missing because they were created during the preloading.

Adding a second filter set fixes this issue. It does not require any extra resources or slow down the page; it simply ensures that the filters are generated in both the preloaded and the final version of the page.

Hello, my website is sportfitonline.com. I am having a problem on a page with Elementor that I created using the product widget. However, it is not filtering as I expect. For example, I filter for size 9.5us and it shows me results with 0 stock. I have configured Hide out-of-stock items in the catalog in WooCommerce, I have hidden them in the Everything Filter plugin, I have activated Hide out-of-stock items from filtered results, but it continues to show them. I have gone to WooCommerce > Status > Tools > and I have regenerated the Product Search Tables. This tool will regenerate the data in the product search tables. Thank you for your help.

Hi pantoniobmx

Everything is working fine now. Please do not create a filter from a taxonomy named “Category” in filter sets used for products, especially using a similar prefix to your talla_us filter. In general, this taxonomy is not connected to products. If you are looking for product category filters, please choose “Product Category” instead of “Category.”

Hi Victor, How do I amend the formatting / style options for the filter drop-downs?

Hi lovesfootballuk

You can go to Filters > Settings > Experimental and turn on Improved Dropdown Styles. This will make the dropdown styles the same as on the demo site.

The remaining configurations can be made via custom CSS. You can place your custom CSS in Filters > Settings > Experimental > Custom CSS.

This is a repost that my web developer originally posted…

FilterEverythingPro seems to be crushing my web host’s server (SiteGround), blowing CPU demand through the roof – so much so that SG temporarily tuned my site off – an e-Commerce site, and it happened on Black Friday. :(

With the plugin disabled, SiteGround reports CPU demand at between 1,000 and 2,000 CPU seconds per hour. With the plugin enabled, CPU demand jumps to almost 20,000 CPU seconds per hour. Disabling the plugin again drops the demand back to normal levels.

The site is a WooCommerce on WordPress site with about 19.5K products (so a lot) – which is why we want to add filters.

Any thoughts?

Also, a new comment from my web dev:

Many other users have reported this same issue and the response is always the same:

“disallow crawling of specific query parameters used by the plugin. For example:

User-agent: * Disallow: /?filtro-offerta= Disallow: /?filtro-categorie= Disallow: /?filtro-brand=

And other rules to instruct crawlers which URLs to avoid.”

So my web dev’s questions are how we are supposed to know what other rules need to be added, and also how we guard against something new triggering this in the future?

FE_support Author Team

Hi joem251

What is happening is that some bots and crawlers are trying to crawl every possible filtering page, including every possible combination of filters.

So when you turn on the plugin, they start crawling non-stop, which is why you see high CPU spikes.

Usually, the best solution is to use robots.txt, firewall, and .htaccess rules to prevent crawlers from accessing certain pages further.

For example, if your shop page is site.com/shop/ and this page has filters, you can add wildcard rules so that anything beyond that page, like /shop/color-red, is blocked from crawling, since these are filter-generated URLs. You can specify which pages are allowed to be crawled, and the wildcard rules will block the rest. So site.com/shop/*, where everything beyond the shop page, which are filters, will not be allowed for crawlers. So you need to add the page where you have the filters and use wildcard rules so the crawlers cannot go further and start crawling the filtering parameters.

You can try to turn off the permalinks in the plugin so the filters will use GET parameters. For that, you can use the following code:
define( 'FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED', false );

After you add the code, you need to go to the filter set and click the Update button. This ensures that those pages are no longer crawled, as they use GET parameters, and usually crawlers do not crawl such pages.

Also, the development team, together with SEO experts, is actively working on improving how the plugin handles this, such as removing links from filter terms, limiting the maximum number of selectable filters at once, and similar solutions. This is currently under active discussion to find the best approach.

Hi!

I have a question about category filters. https://demo.filtereverything.pro/shop/ here you have category filter.

On our website we want to make it in the way, that if you select Electronics parent category, all sub-categories are also selected (with the ability to deselect them). Because now users click on subcategories expecting to see other products, but when the main category is selected, they see the same products. Is there are possibility to do that? Or maybe something similar?

FE_support Author Team

In general, if you choose the parent category, it will display posts from the subcategories as well, if they are assigned to it. To display posts from a subcategory only, you need to deselect the parent category and select only the subcategory.

Best Regards,
Victor

rekosa

rekosa Purchased

Victor, I understand, but users do not understand that. So we are looking for a solution that will not require users to deselect the main category, but would add checkmarks on all sub-categories if the main category is selected.

FE_support Author Team

We understand, but unfortunately there is no such functionality in the plugin. If the logic is set to “OR,” it will display all products based on the selected categories. It cannot work as “OR” for parent categories and “AND” for subcategories simultaneously.

If you want to achieve this kind of separation, you can create multiple custom taxonomies and add the required terms to them. Then, create separate filters for each taxonomy, for example, Brand > Model > Type, and so on. This way, you can build a proper filtering system, rather than trying to make a single filter work with both “OR” and “AND” logic at the same time.

Alternatively, you can add a tooltip with information explaining that users need to deselect the parent category and select only the subcategory to see products from the subcategory. You can add the tooltip text from the More Options on the required filter when editing a filter set.

Victor
